Starting from today till 31 January 2017,
the amount raised will go towards sponsoring 500 special needs runners
at Runninghour 2017. Back for a third edition, the mass run aims to
rally the community to show their
support for the integration of people with special needs through
mainstream sports. Runninghour’s signature ‘Blindfold’ run is the only
race in Singapore where participants run alongside visually,
intellectually and physically challenged runners.

“There
is no better time than the season of giving to initiate this meaningful
collaboration with Runninghour. We are very excited to be able to
contribute to Runninghour, and play our part to ensure that special
needs individuals, who wish to take part in the run, are able to do so
without having to worry about registration cost. At the same time, we
hope to raise awareness on Runninghour among our shoppers and inspire
them to support the cause while they are reveling
in their festive shopping,” said Ms Loo Pei Fen, Chief Marketing

To
drive more awareness towards Runninghour, Challenger has placed QR codes
within its physical stores, which allows shoppers to scan the codes
with their mobile phones. The QR code will lead them to a dedicated
Runninghour page on Hachi.tech. Through this, shoppers will have a
better understanding of Runninghour, and be encouraged to sign up for
Runninghour 2017.
